It's inexpensive, as fast as other P35 boards and overclocks like a beast. You could certainly do better on the included feature and accessories front, but that's not like it doesn't give you plenty of expandability on-board. If I was looking for an inexpensive, solid performing, future proof backbo

It's a great motherboard. First ever purchase of a motherboard by an 18 year old to overclock his E7200, and it works excellent. Fully compatible with 45nm processors, and provides lots of mainstream overclocking options. Got my E7200 running at 3.34GHz without a hassle at all.
I absolutely love this board. After all, its so popular for a reason. I got my C2D E6400 going at 3.2GHz (above 50% OC) with rock-solid stability, with room for more if I up the voltages enough. I would've liked to comment on RAM overclockability, but unfortunately I'm using some Patriot Signature Line DDR2-800 sticks, which unfortunately don't OC very well so I can't tell how much the board is affecting it. But I'm still happy with it.
For the price, there is no better board. It overclocks as well as the other Gigabyte P35 boards, but for less than $100. It is missing RAID functionality and only has 4 SATA ports - it's a simple board with basic features.

Chose this board based on reviews and decent specs. for my first budget gamer build. Dropped an Intel E8400 3.0 cpu, 2GB Crucial ram, EVGA 8800GT, Seagate 500GB HD and Samsung DVD drive in a Coolermaster Elite RC-330 case and have had no issues with Window XP Pro. Good value.

The board worked with the E8400 out of the box with its F7 bios, it was able to overclock the processor to 3.6Ghz without any problems. I've also installed a 9800GTX and a Thermalright Ultima without and obstructions as well. The onboard sound is terrible though, the static is quite audible when it's quiet,(using an Marantz amplifier with Paradigm Titans) but I think you'd get that on every board, other than that everything works great.
